1CUP buttermilk or milk is fine
1/2CUP butter or margarine, melted

Combine flour, cornmeal, baking soda and salt. Add cut jalapenos and 3/4 of your cheese saving some to sprinkle on-top. Mix til combined.
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk/milk, butter (I used half margarine & half Turkey fat), sugar and eggs . Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir just until moist.
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
Jalapenos stuffed with Pepperoni
Clean jalapenos and cut rectangles out. Cut pepperoni to size of jalapenos. It is a little tricky to get the pepperoni in the jalapeno. But with patience they go.
Use whatever back you prefer.
My cheese filling was 2TBSP of cream cheese, 2TBSP of grated cheese (your choice) I added onions flakes, oregano, and garlic powder. Mix well.
I shove a small scoop of cheese into each end of jalapenos. Put the pepperoni in. Fill remaining space with cheese. There isn’t much room left. Then add rectangle top back on
Stuffed Jalapenos
It’s pretty simple and look how pretty they look with their tops.
My stuffing is
2TBSP cream cheese
6TBSP of 2-3 kinds of your favorite cheese
For me, these are best with a variety on cheeses.
I’m not much of a just cream cheese filler, I just want a little so it combines the other cheeses well.
My spices I add to cheese mixture always varies. I say use your favorite. I like garlic, onion, Italian, crushed chilis, really anything can go!
Cheese, Bacon & heat what else could one want?! Haha
We eat a lot of jalapenos. I buy a huge bag (about 22) at grocery store every 2 weeks.
